Japanese pin-up model wants you to buy 3 DVDs then you get 1 expensive kiss

by Chris MaGee

This was just weird and because it was DVD related I couldn’t pass up posting it. Japanese gravure (pin-up model) Inran, whose name is a superlative of hentai or “perverted” (geez...!) is foregoing the usual greet and handshake session to promote her latest DVD of her running around in bikinis and lingerie. Apparently fans who purchase three DVDs get a kiss from their idol (or at least their idol of the week). Now before you think you can start slipping the lovely Inran some tongue think twice; your three DVDs only get you a kiss on the cheek and a picture to commemorate the smooch. And get this… it’ll only set you back ¥11,970.00, the cost of the three DVDs. That’s $115.00 Canadian! For a kiss! Um… I’ll take a handshake and picture with Takeshi Kitano instead… as long as he’s not wearing lingerie, that is.

Thanks to Gaijin Heart via Japan Probe for the story.
